Support a Make Change Project
At SHIFT Nigeria, we care about transforming communities and empowering marginalized communities.
In order to do this, we establish various grassroots projects in communities across Nigeria. SHIFT Cares is designed to ensure members of communities take action to bring about development in their community.
Ongoing Project
Aliade Community
Aliade is a rural community located in Benue State with an estimated population of about 500,000-800,000 inhabitants.
What We Want To Achieve
The Aliade community suffers from two major issues: (1) Access to clean water and (2) waste management. Women and children are forced to walk for hours to get water and when they finally find it, it is unclean and full of bacteria that can cause waterborne diseases. Also, the community lacks a proper waste management system which contributes to a variety illnesses.
Access to clean water
Our solution to their water problem is to build boreholes in various parts of the community.
Waste Management
We will create a system where a waste company will come to the community periodically to clear out the trash dumped on the streets.
